Instruction Manual Compact Control 45 Order.-No. 7224, Compact Control 100 Order.-No. 7229 and Compact
Control 80 HV Order.-No. 7228
Congratulations for buying this state of the art brushless speed controller. It is adapted for use with high efficient and powerful brushless
motors.
Important notice:
Please read this manual carefully before using your controller. Only then can you have full profit of the potential of your controller,
and avoid mistakes.
Warnings:
- The controller's CE certificate doesn't unbind users from their obligation to use ultimate caution
- Should the motor refuse to start up, or after a crash, then you should immediately set the transmitter's control stick to the OFF position to
avoid any overload to the controller.
- Use only motors delivered by GM-Racing or Graupner which are designed for the intended range of voltages!
- Use only high performance batteries by Graupner or GM-Racing. Using batteries with an increased internal resistance may lead to
destruction of the controller! Do never use a power supply.
- Never leave your transmitter unattended when a battery is connected. In case of a deficiency this may cause an outbreak of fire on the
model or its environment.
- Neither the controller nor any other electronic components should ever come in touch with water. Protect the controller against dust, dirt,
humidity, vibrations, or other dangerous elements (with the exception of water-sealed controllers).
- Never run the motor on a separate battery. This will destroy the controller or the motor, and leads to the loss of our warranty.
- Never mix up polarities. Use plug systems which offer protection against wrong polarity. Avoid short-circuiting and blocking the motors.
- All cables and connectors should have good insulation. Short-circuits may lead to the destruction of your motor.
- This product isn't designed for use by children under the age of 14, it isn't a toy!
- Graupner-controllers are designed for use in battery-driven, radio-controlled models only, any other use is not permissible. Using this
device on a passenger-carrying model is forbidden!
- Motors, gears or gearboxes, and propellers are dangerous objects. Never keep next to or in front of the danger area of the drive!
- Technical defects or failures of mechanical or electronic parts may lead to an unexpected start-up of the motor, with parts of it flying off,
maybe causing severe injuries.
- Always check the service range of transmission of your model first thing while it's still on the ground (hold the model tightly!). Try again
with motor on and also with fast changes of the throttle stick.
- Don't make any changes on the structure and design of your controller unless they are described in the manual!
- Limited warranty: Graupner Ltd cannot survey the proper application of the mounting and using regulations, nor the working methods and
conditions during the installation, use, operation, and servicing of the controller. Therefore Graupner Ltd cannot take on any liability for any
loss, damage, or costs resulting from an incorrect use or operation of the product, or connected in any
way with incorrect use or operation.
- Only those components and accessory parts which have been recommended by us may be used. Use only genuine and matching Graupner
connectors and accessory parts.
- Make sure whenever you start connecting and operating the controller, that:
- your transmitter is the only one working on that frequency,
- is switched on,
- and has the throttle set to position "STOP".
- Use only high-quality batteries by Graupner or GM-Racing. Cheap or old batteries with a high internal resistance may lead to poor
performance or even to the destruction of the controller.
Connecting the speed controller:
We recommend to solder G3.5 Order.-No. 2970 gold plugs to the battery wires and use Order.-No. 2969.K for wrong polarity protection or
G6 gold plugs Order-No. 2968. Always use new connectors. We do not recommend using any other type of connector. The wires to the
battery should be over all maximum 20cm long.
The speed controller should be connected to the motor with gold connectors G3.5. Use G3.5 female Order-No. 2969 for the speed controller
motor wires. Use G3.5 gold plugs female Order-No. 2970 on the motor wires.
Installing into the model:
-
Attach the motor to the motor mount using the screws provided. Adjust the effective screw length (place washers under the head)
so that the threads do not protrude protruding inside the motor casing. The winding of your motor can be damaged, if the screws
protrude inside the motor case. See motor instructions.
-
Mount the speed controller in the model so that it is isolated from vibration and shock and make sure the heatsink is free for best
cooling. Make sure that there is sufficient cooling of the motor and speed controller by directing adequate cooling air from the
outside airflow.
Setting the Standard Mode / First operation
1.
Make sure all the cable leads are properly connected.
2.
Turn the transmitter on and check the servo travel of the throttle channel which should be ±100% or, with Multiplex R/C systems,
±80%. Robbe/Futaba systems need reversing (REVERSE) the throttle arm travel! With Graupner/JR systems, the latter should be set to
"NORMAL". The throttle trigger should now be either at position "Brake" or at "Motor off"!
3.
Turn the transmitter on (position "ON"), then push the throttle lever into position "Motor off / Brake".
4.
Connect the propulsion battery to the controller, mind the correct polarity. Plug in the power battery and try only once to plug in. Do
not touch the contact several times. (Order.-No. 7228 Connect now the receiver pack to the receiver)
5.
The Brushless Motor will now indicate that the controller has been activated, i.e. the controller has received the control signal and the
controller has taken on full control, by sending out 3 signal sounds. If the controller doesn't receive a control signal from the transmitter
no audible confirmation will be heard.
